I have received some replies that make me suspect that using the URL bbcode tag results in linked text that many people don't notice; the deep blue of the linked text is too close to the black of the ordinary text. They ask me for links I have already provided.

We need a directorate of science, and we need it to be voted on only by scientists. You don't get to vote on reality. Get over it. Elected officials that deny the findings of the Science Directorate are subject to immediate impeachment for incompetence.
